@randymot4 Dude, @randymot4 have you read what JD Vance said? Like, are you paying attention at all? Or are you really just completely in denial about the Republican Party.
@RandPaul What was in the letter that you hand delivered to Putin on behalf of Trump? Something something America First? Please, take your crocodile tears and go fuck yourself.
Biden is ahead in the latest polls and has a comfortable lead with likely voters.
Whatever his weakness may be, Joe Biden is an American hero. He spared the country from the dangers of a Donald Trump second term and he is going to stop him again in November. The GOP still has a chance to fix this but they lack courage. They also allowed Trump and his family to hijack the RNC.
Morning thoughts:
1. Trump could well win in November.
2. Trump will seek to govern as the authoritarian leader of a populist and anti-liberal movement.
3. The guardrails, formal and informal, of liberal democracy are weaker than they were.
I'm alarmed.
Ukraine is not a “European problem”; it is a transatlantic problem. Therefore, we in the U.S. need to get together ASAP with our Western partners to collaborate, strategize, and respond to the Russian threat to Ukraine collectively.
Below is a graphic that shows what Ukraine looks like, superimposed on a map of Western Europe.
Western success, or Western failure, in dealing with Russian aggression in Ukraine will have enormous consequences for our collective future.
Six months ago, President Biden sent Congress a request for $100+ billion for Ukraine/Israel/border. The request included funding to triple Israel's Iron Dome. Trump Republicans refused to act. They hate Ukraine, but they are not friends to Israel either. https://t.co/HDCZRMCLuv
@SecDef Why do this for Israel with its enormous air/missile defense capabilities but not for Ukraine's cities and civilians which are almost undefended. Let's organize for victory: muster political will and industrial capacity to defeat Russia first and isolate Iran=deter China.
Yes, Mike Johnson and House Republicans are the main reason Congress hasn't passed the Ukraine aid bill. But, if the progressive “Squad” had signed the discharge petition to force Speaker Johnson to bring it to a vote it would have passed weeks ago.
